| Popis: | Brucellosis is a significant health problem and is endemic in some regions. Osteoarticular involvement is seen most frequently in brucellosis (20-60%). In regions where brucellosis is endemic, it should be considered in the etiology of arthritis. We report the 12 cases, were 11 males with a mean age of 12 years (range, 2-17 years). Involvement was determined in the hip in 9 cases, the sacroiliac joint in 2 and the knee in 1. All the cases had arthralgia, fever was determined in 8 cases and leukocytosis in one case. Surgical treatment was applied to one case because of septic arthritis. Serious complications of the infection may be encountered and particularly in musculoskeletal system involvement, it should be kept in mind that complications can be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment. |
